I need some opinions on the site. How do you guys like it?

Dont like it,lots of bots,bad software

it's great if u are a losing player and never need to take money out. otherwise if you want access to your money might as well just forget it.

Just search for lock threads, you won't like what you find.

I like it! There are other ways of cashing out. Of course I would love if we could cash out quickly. There are not a lot of options if you are in the US

You are in Lithuainia right?...Why would you be playing on Lock? Im just curious. If I was out of the US, I would never leave Stars or Full Tilt.

Games are super soft, cashouts are complicated.

Play on one of the bigger sites (Stars, Full Tilt). They are so far ahead of Lock it's ridiculous. Here are Lock's pros and cons

Pros: You can play poker there, when the software is working.

Cons: Lock has major software issues, promises promos that they end up not delivering on (I was top 100 on the leaderboard 3 out of the 4 months and they only did 1 of the tournaments so anyone grinding to get into that did it for nothing), the cashouts take far too long and are unreliable (people from October and November still waiting on Western Union cashouts) so if you go on a good run or happen to in a tournament for $15000 it'll take you about a year to cash that off unless you go through 2+2 transfer but then you run the risk of getting scammed (has happened to me) and because people have little faith in Lock they only give .70 on the dollar.

If you are just playing for fun and not with the intention of making money I would still pick the bigger sites. Although Lock lures you in with all of their bonuses and high rakeback, the software is garbage and the payouts are a long and shady process.

Problem with me is I live in the US

I have been playing on Lock for the past 4 weeks. Unless Ive just been lucky, I have not had any software issues. I actually like the layout and the software has been fine(Im just speaking for myself). As far as being in the US -Me too. I actually live in Vegas but I like to come home after work and get online and play. I started small... I deposited $500 to start, (got $1000 of bonus dollars). Im not as worried as other people on here, Im not worried about not getting paid... I dont think Lock is in it just to take player funds and not pay... I beleive that they want to be a succesfull site and are taking steps to do so. Who knows, maybe Im completely wrong. At the end of the day.... we are in the US, its going to be a risk no matter what and we dont have any other options now.

Love it. I think its the best option if playing from the US. But I have never tried to cash out..

I think it's obvious that if we weren't in the US we would be on Stars or FT all day...but thats not the case. Lock has the most traffic, highest rakeback, and best MTT schedule out of all the other US facing sites IMO. I have accounts on ACR, BCP, & Intertops too and still play them but i have had my most success on Lock. Of course all the negativity you see on here about the site is true, so you need to know it is still a big risk playing on there. But if you go to the P2P thread and buy some funds @ .65-.70 it doesn't feel sooo bad if you lose IMO

Have you tried Bovada? Check pokerscout, the traffic their is pretty good and right behind revolution

Unfortunately for Lock (& any of us who like playing there) durring peak hours Bovada has been beating their online cash player numbers for weeks now. The weekly average higher volume has been being eroding by 20 players a week for several weeks now also...down to only a 40 person advantage as of today.

My guess is by the middle of next month as income tax refunds start hitting the recreational US players, Bovada will have overcome Revolution and probably by a decently significant volume.

Interesting, what is bodog's cashout process like?

I honestly don't know, I don't have an account there. I play on Revolution currently. I like reading the articles on PokerScout and can't help but see the numbers they report is all.

Pretty smooth apparently.

I just downloaded the software. I haven't played online in months. Lock isn't worth the hassle. It's sick, Lock pre-revolution was a dream, smooth software, rake-back, functional vaults, great mtt schedules. Then Shane and company burned it all down.

Still waiting on that new software... Ha, as the trolls and sheeple used to say: VIVA LA REVOLUTION.

jspencer man I know you really like lock, but like you said you just started playing there, there are overwhelming of numbers of people who report the server outages multiple times per week. there are overwhelming numbers of threads filled with people unable to cashout. there are threads covering all sorts of software based glitches. lock is the most volatile, untrustworthy site you could choose out of the main U.S. facing sites at the moment. Other networks crush lock in terms of cashouts, but that is easy since Lock's cashouts are non existent. you are certainly entitled to your opinion, but that's all it is, while the other side of the coin has countless numbers of horror stories to back it up.

your optimism is admirable, but it's based on absolutely nothing except your own somewhat warped opinion.

there are plenty of other reliable options available i don't understand why you keep stating that there aren't? it's pretty clear that lock is the nut worst decision you could choose if you were looking for a U.S. facing site to play on and I really don't think you can honestly refute that after you do a little research and have something to compare it to.

Well, the rakeback is the best out of any option anywhere, but that's about it, and it doesn't look like it's worth it anymore.. the cashout times and software bugs/glitches/lag/outages indeed make it so bad it's really not worth it anymore.

Oh well, good luck with your waiting period to all those cashing out.. :/

Ur looking at a trade value of .6-1 on ur 5k. I don't care what that rake-back is like. U are getting bent over the table sir.

Yeah it does look like it.. won't be trading for that, though, rather wait 55 days each time then.. just hoping i ever see my 2 pending cashouts, will be really disgusted if not, it's a lot of money to me :/

The software is decent but seems to have a lot of bots.

How do you think they stay atop the "Most players among any US facing Site" leader board? Hmmmm

Other than Bovada, what real competition is there? If you count Seals with clubs, there's only five places that I'm aware of. Merge totally sucks and winning hasn't any real traffic. Chico....well betonline has nice frequent freerolls and a sportsbook but....
